Whiz Operational Manual Inspection before Operating the Machine Before starting manual cleaning mode/autonomous cleaning mode, be sure to perform the following inspection.
Whiz Operational Manual Autonomous Cleaning (Robot) Overview The machine is capable of automatically cleaning on a saved cleaning route (autonomous cleaning mode). To clean in autonomous cleaning mode, you must first teach a cleaning route (⇒see “Teaching a New Cleaning Route”) and with the machine read a Home Location Code (⇒see “Home Location Codes and Cleaning Routes”). Select a cleaning route you teachd to start autonomous cleaning.
Home Location Codes and Cleaning Routes Home Location Codes are markers indicating where cleaning routes start and stop. They are used for establishing the machine’s home location, and according to the size of the cleaning area, one or several Home Location Codes are used (6 cleaning routes can be saved for 1 Home Location Code). In a building with several floors, a Home Location Code specific to each floor must be placed.
Locations for Placing Home Location Codes Place Home Location Codes on walls, columns, etc. in a bright location and distanced approximately 60 cm from the floor and approximately 80 cm from the machine. Do not place Home Location Codes where they may be hidden, such as walls behind furniture or shelves. Do not let Home Location Codes lean or turn; set the home location code horizontally and a little below the camera, placed in front of the machine.
Scanning home location code Home Location Codes are read with the camera on the front of the machine (⇒see “Names of Parts”). Move the machine to where the distance between the camera and a Home Location Code is approximately 80 cm, and stop the machine so that the Home Location Code and machine are parallel. If the machine is not positioned properly, it cannot read the Home Location Code.
Checking Precautions when Teaching a Cleaning Route Be sure to check the following before teaching a cleaning route. Machine Always carry out an inspection before operating the machine (⇒see “Inspection before Operating the Machine”). Do not bring the machine too close to a wall when teaching a cleaning route. As the machine may detect nearby persons as objects, do not stand in front of the sensor, and teach cleaning routes at a time when few persons are around.
Cleaning Routes When teaching a cleaning route, divide the area into zones using floor material and stepped portions as boundaries. The recommended cleaning route area per one cleaning is about 500 m2. A cleaning route of over 500 m2 may have obstacles that could cause the machine to stop during autonomous cleaning or that could prevent the machine from saving the cleaning route. Remove any obstacles, cables, etc. from the cleaning route that could be a hindrance to cleaning.
Teaching a New Cleaning Route Planning a Cleaning Route Teach a route that will allow the cleaning area to be cleaned the most optimally and efficiently, taking into consideration its layout and size (area). During autonomous cleaning, the machine will operate at a relatively low speed for safety. Time from start to completion of autonomous cleaning will be longer than the time required to teach the cleaning route. Consider how long the battery will last when teaching a cleaning route.
Teaching and Saving a Cleaning Route Before teaching a cleaning route, check “Checking Precautions when Teaching a Cleaning Route”. 1 Pull the steering handle up as far as it will go, and lower it toward you 2 Move the machine to the Home Location Code where cleaning is to be carried out (⇒ ⇒see “Home Location Codes and Cleaning Routes”) 3 Press the main power switch (I/O) to set it on (I) A screen appears on the touch screen (⇒see “Touch Display”) for selecting “TEACH ROUTE/RUN ROUTE/SETTINGS”.
4 On the touch display, tap “TEACH ROUTE” A screen for reading a Home Location Code (⇒see “Home Location Codes and Cleaning Routes”) appears. 5 Place the machine so that the machine’s sensor and the Home Location Code are parallel, and read the Home Location Code When the machine has read the Home Location Code correctly, a green frame appears. Otherwise, a red frame appears.
6 Select for where to save cleaning route The selected spot is assigned to the new cleaning route. Once the number of saved routes has reached the limit, either delete existing cleaning routes (⇒see “Deleting Cleaning Routes”), or read a different Home Location Code.
8 Use the steering handle to move the machine, and clean the entire cleaning route (teaching route) Changing between normal mode and max power mode (⇒see “Max Power Mode Button”) is also learned in a cleaning route. Teaching a cleaning route with few detours allows the machine to travel with fewer decreases in speed for more efficient cleaning. The speed at which the machine travels as you are cleaning along the cleaning route (teaching route) has no effect on automatic travel.
Deleting Cleaning Routes 1 On the touch display, tap “SETTINGS” The settings menu appears. 2 Tap “ROUTES” A list of saved Home Location Codes appears. 3 Select the Home Location Code with the routes to delete A list of cleaning routes appears.
4 Tap “DELETE” The selected cleaning routes are deleted.
Carrying Out Autonomous Cleaning Select a cleaning route that has already been created (⇒see “Teaching a New Cleaning Route”) and carry out autonomous cleaning. Before carrying out autonomous cleaning, always make an inspection (⇒see “Inspection before Operating the Machine”). Carry out autonomous cleaning at a time with the fewest number of persons passing through and the least nu mber of objects nearby.
3 Read the Home Location Code The Home Location Code turns green when the machine recognizes it correctly, and a screen for selecting a route appears on the touch display.
6 Remove the notification pager from the machine (⇒ ⇒see “Notification Pager”) 7 Press the autonomous clean start/stop button (⇒ ⇒see “Autonomous Clean Start/Stop Button”) Autonomous cleaning begins. Remove the notification pager (⇒see “Notification Pager”) from the machine and carry it with you. During autonomous cleaning, the LED light indicating the direction the machine is moving in flashes orange 2 ti mes (example: when the machine is going to detour right, the right LED light will light).
Whiz Operational Manual Manual Cleaning Clean by operating manually. In areas along a wall or the like, that cannot be cleaned autonomously, clean in manual mode.
3 Use the vacuum power button and max power mode button to start cleaning (⇒ ⇒see “Vacuum Power Button”, “Max Power Mode Button”) The machine is designed to be moved forward to clean floors; do not move the machine backward. During cleaning, do not bring the machine near slopes, platforms, elevators/escalators, or other obstacles. Contact the administrator immediately if the machine is damaged or is operating abnormally (such as vacuum f ailure or a sound of an air leak).
Whiz Operational Manual Notification Pager Notification Pager Functions Notification pager will notify the operator (Sound/Vibration) when irregular occur during autonomous cleaning or when the machine encounters obstacles. When using the notification pager for the first time, please take the pager out of the battery box and charge the pager. (⇒see "Recharging the Notification Pager').
